Heartbroken, grief-stricken, and lost after the death of his girlfriend, Philippe threw himself into his career and focused on being the best on the ice. Shanna wasn't his true mate, he wasn't sure he'd ever find his mate, but he'd love to have someone to share the full moon with after years of doing it solo. He doesn't share much of himself or his animal side with anyone. In the past five years, he's only been able to open up to one person so he figured it might be nice to share everything with Kelsey. That included what he really was, all she had to do was say yes. When she did, that's when he was in for the biggest surprise of all, he found his mate. Kelsey thought hooking up with the moody professional player wouldn't lead to anything other more than casual dating. When he bit her, she was in for the biggest surprise of her life. Now she has to figure out how to control herself so she can keep all of Philippe's secrets and the fact that most of the lore she grew up with wasn't that fictional. Watch as these two go from something casual to something so much more. If you love shifters and hockey romances, this is the book for you. *** Taking A Risk takes place in the Loving the Sound series (a contemporary hockey romance series) timeline but it's not necessary to read the other series first to enjoy this one.
